About the author

Dr. Robert Stamps works at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Manitoba, Canada.Dr. Robert Camley works at the Department of Physics & Energy Science, University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.Dr Rair Macêdo is a theoretical physicist by training—but every so often dabbles in the world of experimental physics. He started pursuing research at the age of 16, as a part of his BSc studies, in the area of novel optical effects in natural hyperbolic media; and received a PhD in physics from the University of Glasgow in a similar area, but at an advanced theoretical level, modelling electromagnetic properties of magnetic structures. He has held a Leverhulme Trust Early Research Fellowship to develop novel metamaterials to control and manipulate electromagnetic waves and is currently a Lecturer in Electrodynamics and Spin Electronics at the Electronic & Nanoscale Engineering Division of the James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow.
